I think you'd need to be wired pretty weird to enjoy working more than not working regardless of what it is.

For example I love hiking.

Now I could make money hiking by guiding - have to deal with people
Or blogging about it -- have to write about stuff and edit and proof read
Or review gear -- have to write about it and use non optimal gear
Or work at a national park -- have to deal with tourins
Or search and rescue -- pretty high risk and not full time

So none of these things would be as enjoyable for work as my hobby and would likely burn out the enjoyment of the hobby.

Could you give an example of a career that would fulfill the concept you are describing.
